Dallas Schoo soundchecks The Edge's guitar rig before U2 360° show @Millennium Stadium, Cardiff

***Let me clarify... I am in the Inner Circle and the sound is coming from the On Stage monitors only so we can hear it but we are 6-6 feet from the stage... the rest of the stadium cannot hear a thing... Alo, Dallas has to play the riffsduring the soundcheck as it is likely The Edge insists on it to make sure all the preset delays and effects are perfect... Dallas does a great job, which is evident in the number of hits this video gets and the amount of positivity in the comments... Thank you for listening to my rant, lol :)****

why not just play the whole set. what an ego maniac. worst tech ever. this is no sound check, this guy is getting a cheap thrill. Look i'm on stage and even though I suck on guitar everyone has to listen to my crappy playing!

@mixmastermonte it may be buried away in my comment somewhere, but only the first few rows under the claw can hear him, as the sound is not coming out the main sound system but the monitor speakers in front of him... anyway, he did play the whole set and very very badly like you expertly gathered... i just didn't have time to film it... you see, i have very little time for idiots. i can only stand about 5 minutes of them then i just give up and walk aw.....

You're crazy for writing negative comments about this guy. The Edge has a different sound, amp, and guitar for just about every song. All he's doing is going through them, to make sure the delay, echo, reverb and the like are all preset perfectly. You know, it is his job. It's not like he's a tech for Green Day or something. He earns every penny he makes. Hardest working guitar tech out there.

@MrMalq Couldnt agree more, just met him for the first time a week ago in LA airport. he was very gracious, chatted with me for 10 mins, just a super nice, softly spoken guy from Kentucky. i was very impressed, he and Edge are fortunate to have found each other.

@mixmastermonte Um, you DO realize that the sound in the stadium is different with thousands of people than it would be empty...right? I mean, come on. This man is a professional.

I work very near U2's studio here in dublin and I have had the honour to have spoken to Dallas a few times over the years. He has always answered my questions about guitar stuff with such grace and kindness. A wonderful gentleman.

@speed294 idiots i can tell right away - cause its most people, usually cool people say something nice or intelligent, but idiots act and spout off at the mouth, shit, what does a dictionary say an idiot is - a human being in form, but destitute of reason, or the ordinary intellectual powers of man.

[bonoIsAnAsshole]

@speed294 the whole fuckin 'claw' tour is a joke, wtf is this band going to do next, shit, they've run outta shit to do, (long past) if you cant see the fuckin stage, what's the point, im gonna go to some fuckin event, pay some ridiculous fuckin price, only to sit where i have to break my fuckin neck to look up at some stupid screen, what a fuckin joke..........
